By analysing the known low-lying levels and the E2 transition rates, it is shown that the empirical scheme of Cd-114 is in good overall agreement with the predictions of the transitional dynamical symmetry E(5) proposed by Iachello [Phys. Rev. Lett. 85 (2000) 3580]. This suggests that Cd-114 may be better described by an E(5) nucleus than a U(5) nucleus as known before.
